During her swearing-in last week Cobb District 2 commissioner Jerica Richardson said she’s conducting an open process to fill the many appointed roles citizens play on various county boards and authorities.
Here’s what she posted on Monday:
Happy to say that over 100 people have applied to be appointed to a board- a major milestone. We are wrapping up round 1 of interviews and selections for the immediate appointments, but still have multiple rounds to go!
We want at least 500 people to apply (there are at least 100K eligible applicants in the district and even more in the county), so please apply. We will interview you and identify your best fit!
There are more than 40 such boards and authorities, most with positions appointed by commissioners, and include the Cobb Planning Commission, the county’s library and recreation boards, neighborhood safety commission, cemetery preservation and animal services board.
Richardson, who officially assumed office on Jan. 1 (official bio here), will be holding a Facebook live event Monday to introduce her staff. That event takes place from 6:30-7 p.m. and can be viewed by clicking here.
The first meeting of the Cobb commissioners for the year takes place next Tuesday.
